Hanson said, "I never actually owned this book until just recently, but the illustrations from a library copy are still so firmly imprinted in my memory, it's like I'm right back there, looking at the page as a small child. Quite by coincidence, a friend of mine (who also has an art history degree incidentally) gave me and my wife a copy of the book as a present for our daughter. Ah . . . serendipitous bliss."
